Public Policy Polling says that – on health care reform – Democratic Congressmen Bob Etheridge and Health Shuler “both have to decide between voting the way that folks in their party would like them to, or voting the way voters in their district as a whole would like them to.”
 
But I’m not convinced that voting for reform will hurt them this fall.
 
For one thing, PPP also finds that, nationally, support for reform is rising.
 
For another, the picture is likely to be very different in November.
 
People don’t like reform now – in part – because they don’t know what’s in it. Fear trumps facts.
 
If a bill passes, Democrats will be able to talk about specific benefits.
 
If it doesn’t pass, they’ll be able to blame Republicans for everything wrong in health care.
 
Regardless, once the fight is over, Republicans will face the same challenge Democrats face now: how to get people interested in health-care reform when they’re mostly worried about the economy.
 
Health-care reform may be old news in November.

I do know Etheridge, Shuler is just far left.
Of course the local papers try to betray him as a moderate.
Of course they try to betray Hagan, as a moderate also.

Etheridge is a joke, merely a pathetic Pelosi lap puppy. He will sell his constituents down the river in a heartbeat to brownnose Pelosi. Of course, he is not a moderate. Pelosi says ''jump'' and he responds ''how far to the left?''

Obama's government health care bill will have the same impact that Hillarycare had in 1994. Obama is willing to sacrafice Democrat congresscritters in order to try to cram his big government schemes down the throats of Americans. I would hope that he could be impeached, then prosecuted and jailed for corruption over the Chicago way methods he is using to buy votes. Nominating an uncommitted Democrat congresscritter's brother foir a federal judgeship the same day he is having a White House meeting with the congresscritter to push him for a vote for Obamacare is an outrage. The teleprompter tyrant in the White House should be in prision instead. Two terms for Obama - the second one in prison!

One also has to look at the economic doctrine behind Obamacare. Socialism is based on government taking ownership of economic activities. The so-called ''public option'' would be a classic example of socialized medicine. However the economic doctrine of fascism is to leave the ownership of ecomomic entities nominally in private hands but closely controlled by government dictation. Obamacare is closely modelled on the economic principles of fascism. Indeed, so is Obama's Cap and Trade scheme to joist at the windmill of the science fiction fairy tale of ''global warming''. Obamacare also abuses individual liberty by unconstitutionally ordering all Americans to get health insurance or face fines or even jail.

Obama's fascist economic policies like Obamacare and Cap and Trade are as big a threat to liberty as the antics of the fascist dictators of the past.

Etheridge sold out for a $25 mil USDA loan for a hospital in Lillington. That was his price. His hemming & hawing is just his country boy way of playing hard to get. He knew he'd be voting for the bill all along. Golly gee - NC is 9th in population - other states got $100 mil hospitals, etc. His vote really was a bargain. At least, if we're cursed with Democrats, we should have one who can sell us out for a higher price.

Interestingly, some of our NC Dems may be trying to redeem themselves. Rep. Eric Cantor filed a resolution on the House floor, calling on the House to condemn the "malfesant manner" that Speaker Pelosi & other Dems arrogantly engaged in abuse of power in the way they are pushing through the HC bill. Of course the resolution was defeated.

Guess who voted along with Republicans?

Dem Rep's Mike McIntyre, Heath Shuler, and Larry Kissell.

Health care reform maybe a old news yet until now still it gathers several controversies and debate in the senate. Several opinions arises some leaders believe that the issue of the health care reform is being politicize by some politicians , they are making money of the issue. Whatever plans they may have just to bear in mind that bit will be the health care system of the US which going to be at stake if some individual will take advantage of the issue. I do not know how much support there is to this Doc Fix thing – but if there is a Democratic memo from 10 years ago purporting to fix prices for paying doctors, this would further prove that neither party has any kind of interest of permitting free competition and the market to do it's work. Republicans only have insurance CEOs in mind, and who knows what Democrats are after with health care reform. At the same time, everyone else has to practically run to payday lenders for payday loans to be able to cover the most basic of medical care.
